Case report: Venetoclax plus Azacitidine in treatment of acute undifferentiated leukemia
This study is the first to report an AUL patient treated with the "VA" scheme and achieved CR. Our result preliminarily suggested the effectiveness and safety of the "VA" scheme in AUL treatment, but validation is required in more clinical samples. The "VA" scheme provides a new treatment option for AUL patients and deserves further clinical promotion.PMID:38095304 | DOI:10.1080/16078454.2023.2293494 (Source: Hematology)

Mortality among US veterans with a physician-documented diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency
Hematology. 2024 Dec;29(1):2290746. doi: 10.1080/16078454.2023.2290746. Epub 2023 Dec 14.ABSTRACTReal-world studies of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency and estimates of mortality are lacking. This retrospective observational study aimed to identify patients with PK deficiency and compare their overall survival (OS) to that of a matched cohort without PK deficiency. Patients with ≥1 diagnosis code related to PK deficiency were selected from the US Veterans Health Administration (VHA) database (01/1995-07/2019); patients with a physician-documented diagnosis were included (PK deficiency cohort; index: date of first diagnosi...

Adult presentation of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency: a possible cause of hyperammonemia after high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation
Hematology. 2023 Dec;28(1):2265187. doi: 10.1080/16078454.2023.2265187. Epub 2023 Oct 5.ABSTRACTHyperammonemia is a rare and often fatal complication following the conditioning therapy in autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients. It is characterized by anorexia, vomiting, lethargy and coma without any other apparent cause. The diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms can be subtle and ammonia is usually not included among the routine analyzes. Previous reports have not identified the molecular mechanisms behind hyperammonemia in stem cell transplant recipients. Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are inborn err...
